Epocrates recently took their long standing Epocrates hand held tool and move it online for doctors and medical workers to access prescription information and tables on the go. After recently reading a new press release from Epocrates I have learned that our favorite sponsor is now expanding out their online services tools to provide drug and formulary reference guides replete with additional medical practice tools and patient education materials.

Now when a patient is prescribed Zyprexa for example, clinicians can go online, view images of the pill, showing it to patients to reduce the potential for errors and even print out medical information about the pill like what to do if the patient misses a dosage or what they should or shouldn't eat with the medication.
